Gates 16-22 Lexus RX350 V-6 3.5L Heater Inlet Molded Heater Hose

This Gates molded heater hose is constructed from EPDM rubber, a material known for its resistance to heat and ozone, which is crucial for components exposed to engine bay temperatures. It's specifically shaped to fit the inlet side of your heater core on a 2016-2022 Lexus RX350 equipped with the V6 3.5L engine. Replacing a worn or leaking heater hose is important because it ensures that hot coolant can circulate properly to your cabin heater core, keeping you comfortable during colder months.

Gates designs these hoses to match the original equipment's form and function, meaning it should fit right without needing any special modifications. The molded shape follows the exact bends and curves required for a clean installation, preventing kinks that could restrict coolant flow. This attention to detail helps maintain the performance of your vehicle's heating system and prevents potential coolant leaks that could cause further damage.
